The U.S. women’s soccer team is coming back to Allianz Field, this time for a friendly against China on May 31.

This will be the fourth time the team has played at Allianz Field since 2019. Most recently, the U.S. squad defeated South Korea 3-0 last year on June 4. That was Emma Hayes' second game as the U.S. coach.

“I love these games because they combine some rich women’s soccer history with the present, with both countries going through transitions in preparation for ’27 World Cup qualifying,” Hayes said in the news release.

Tickets for the general public go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. There will be scheduled presales Tuesday through Thursday.

The match will start at 4:30 p.m., and can be viewed on TBS and HBO Max and in Spanish by Universo and Peacock.
